Kerani Sabo, 37, said that could push her family into bankruptcy. The Bethel Park resident’s 3-year-old son was born with a severe cardiac defect. His multiple open-heart surgeries were mostly covered by her employer-issued insurance and his first two years of exceeded $2.5 million in cost. Sabo’s son now depends on Medicaid for care and she said she worries about his ability to afford coverage as an adult.

“It feels like a moral obligation to make sure that the most vulnerable in our society are well treated,” Sabo said. "And I don’t see my congressmen doing that.”

Sabo said she was never politically active before this year.

“I feel dragged into it kicking and screaming,” she said. “As a matter of fact, I have been a registered Republican all of my life. I don’t know that I’ll always be one.”

Women’s March Pennsylvania Chapter is also calling on constituents across the state to protest the bill’s progress, according to Chairperson Shawna Knipper.

“From this point, we have to put quite a bit of pressure on our own Sen. Toomey to be inclusive of women’s health care issues,” she said.

The health care bill now goes to the U.S. Senate, which members said they will rewrite.

Sabo said she will likely change her registration to Democrat before U.S. Representatives are up for re-election in 2018.

“When the mothers and baby of your own party come out to tell you that you need to check yourself," she said, “maybe it’s time to take a look inside and see who you’re representing -- because it’s not me.”
